Remember @servo?

That other new open source browser engine, the one with which Rust was co-created at Mozilla

It’s an independent project nowadays and is also fundraising

the sqlite codebase is a gem.

tldr; mcaffee made a shit ton of sqlite files in the temp folder causing people to call the sqlite devs phone angrily. now they name all files etilqs to prevent this.

Well this surely didn't age well.

Makes me wonder about Kling preferring and staying on Twitter.

Against the backdrop of the violent slide of the US and EU to the far right, I invite the dweb proponents and p2p protocol designers who follow me to take a moment and re-read the essay I published in 2020 about about the challenges that your work will very soon face head-on: https://newdesigncongress.org/en/pub/this-is-fine

When it comes to Qualys, in the context of the OpenSSH vuln, I'll just repeat what I said a while back:

"I'm impressed with the Qualys security research team. Not only because they are clearly talented and have an impressive portfolio of high-impact findings - but because in an era of vanity domains and logos for bugs, they're keeping the 1990s research aesthetics alive."

Truth to be told, Qualys might be the only group still regularly doing this kind of "basic stack" research. Almost all the vuln research has shifted elsewhere, largely in response to financial incentives.

The irony is not lost on me that the Internet Archive went out of its way to acquire the physical versions of millions of books and loan them out carefully and in a limited way, and is facing a near-extinction-level event over it, while for-profit and VC-backed companies are just stealing people’s content and making up excuses to validate the bad behavior.

if I had a lot more time I think I might write a book on my ideas about "adversarial automation".

The idea that the point of computers is to help the humans do their job faster and easier, and sometimes the computer or the software on it is the enemy in that battle.

People often discuss and debate what defines a "civilization".

Some say it's "cities with hierarchy", others point to various aspects of culture such as writings, art, religion, philosophy, etc.

I say the the core of civilization, and the first instances of a civilized culture, is how they take care of those who cannot take care of themselves.

This find is an indication of neanderthal civilization:

🧵 In 2020, I nearly died from mysterious industrial chemical exposure at my apartment. Later, in 2023, I discovered my employer was dumping toxic waste into the apartment windows from their Skunkworks semiconductor fab next-door. I tipped off the US EPA, who sent their env cops to raid Apple's plant in Aug of 2023. The US EPA finally released the report of their enforcement inspections & sent me a copy on Friday. 💀 ⬇️

Am I connected to anybody that has experience with file systems on Plan 9?

In particular, I'm studying the designs used by user level file servers in Plan 9 (acme, factotum, plumb, etc) and would love to talk to someone who has opinions about what good "API" design looks like for a Plan 9 file system. For example: "Which file systems do you like?", "Which are worth studying?", "What are some mistakes to avoid?", etc
